Sat with this for a few hours this morning, quite like the Music Rally, quite a fun feature. Otherwise just done my B license and done a couple of GT Cafe menus.
Will tear into it proper later today but from what I played, it's good fun and took me back to the GT of old.
Well to be honest I've not played either, I didn't like HZD, found it boring as sin, I've never got along with soulsborne games and reviews have done nothing to convince me that the newest iterations would be any different. So I've not bought either of them.
But yeah, why can't people just like what they like and get on with enjoying their games?
Really tempted to pick up Scarlett Nexus but I just picked up Kena and Deathloop yesterday, planning in getting sifu and GT next week, am still playing Cyberpunk, got P5S to start, still can't stop tinkering with Planet Coaster.
I'm almost (as usual) getting sucked in by the hype here but it's not one for me.
I've tried Demons Souls (original), Dark Souls and Bloodborne and I've not gotten along with any of them. But still I read the hype and comments and feel like I should get this.
But I won't. Glad the reviews are looking top notch and have fun if your getting it, look great
Said a few times here, I bought it cheap, played a couple of hours and liked it enough, issues aside.
Was really hoping they would knock it out the park but to me... They've kinda not went the extra mile that I thought they would. I dunno what else I would have liked to have seen to be honest but this just seems like what should be the minimum expected.
Maybe I'm being harsh, I dunno.
It's downloading, I'll fire it up but I'm keeping the expectations low.

It's downloading, I'll fire it up but I'm keeping the expectations low.
Will probably get a couple of the Planet Coaster DLCs at the weekend, just started on it last night so will see if it holds my attention before picking them up.
At this point I'm actually surprised they are even bothering developing a new game in the series.
Although the probably know fine we'll they can just "enhance" that every few years to keep the money coming in, along with a MTX ladden online mode it will keep them going for years.
Live service games such as Fortnite ain't for me, just not my thing but I appreciate that people do love them and that's good, we all like different things.
If there is balance (as in all the GaaS efforts aren't online shooters) and there is still focus on the SP narrative driven games, then I don't see an issue really.
Not gonna bother paying for this, don't have the will to play them again to be honest, regardless of how good they look.
Plenty of new games about I'd rather sink my time into.
There will be PS5 upgrades I do get on board with, I upgraded Death Stranding because I never actually got that far into the PS4 version, but this... Nah.
They don't need to go toe to toe with MS in an acquisition face off which they likely can't afford anyway.
Why do they need to have the same? Why does Sony need a gamepass clone?
Time for Sony focus on what can differentiate them from MS. VR, fantastic 1st person exclusives, Discord integration for better community features.
And then there is Spartacus. Ideally a retro collection for those who want it, maybe discounts for members instead of day 1 releases (to make PS5 games price points more palatable).
Support for indie studios, not every great game is AAA as we know, focus more on pointing the community to great indie games, put them in the spotlight more.
Loads of ways they can play it without resorting for a tit for tat acquisition spree which, let's face it, makes gaming worse for us.
Subscribers to Spartacus (or whatever it ends up being called) get a discount on 1st party games up release, bringing them down to a more palatable £50/£55.
Unlikely but it would be a hit with a good chunk of people. And yeah, I have no idea if it's sustainable but certainly more sustainable than full release day 1 you would imagine.
Wouldn't be surprised if they combined them both and added crunchyroll.
I'm not sure I'll fork out for much more than a Plus tier (like we currently have) to be honest, unless they managed to offer something seriously tempting and if I'm honest, I don't actually know what they could do to tempt me.
I have GP, IMO it's not as insane value as some people make out. Lot of padding in there. I keep it mainly for the wee man so he can mess about with games on his PC.
So a GP clone, nah. Anime, nah.
Was anything else every said about the trial they run in Poland? Movies I think it was? Even then, I don't think that would be worth the extra for me?
Retro games? Again, not for me, very few I go back to an actually enjoy like I did at the time.
I've not voted as to me, length doesn't matter, quality of gameplay, story etc matter more.
I checked my stats the other day, 418 hours into the Witcher 3 for example.
But I'm equally as happy stick 15 hours in Ratchet and Clank, or 30 hours into Spiderman (can't remember the exact numbers there).
Suppose it all depends on what's important to you. I've thrown thousands of hours each into Cities Skylines, CK3 and Football Manager on the PC for example, because the gameplay loops keep me coming back.
To me, game time is low down on my list of what is an important factor in making a purchase.
For the people looking forward to it, hope you all can avoid any spoilers, hate when games get ruined like that.
Personally, doesnt effect me, I'll not be picking it up. I found HZD to be incredibly boring in terms of story and padding. Gameplay was decent but not enough to keep me engaged long enough to complete it.
Game length is a funny one. I sunk well over 100 hours into one playthrough of The Witcher 3 (dlc included), well over 100 into Persona 5 (and now playing Royal)... I was gutted when they ended as I could have played more.
Shorter games are also fine with me, Rift Apart took what, maybe 10-12 hours. Still a good game.
If the quality of the game is good, the length of time to complete is irrelevant to me
Helping the wee man with a Miles Morales playthrough on the PS4
For me, messing about with Cyberpunk to see what it's like, will get into it properly once the drop the PS5 patch. As well I'll be continuing my P5R run through ahead of Striker on Plus this month. Bit of Asteroids Recharged thrown in as well, cracking pickup for us to play as a family taking shots about. And not too far removed from the original, whilst still feeling like a decent experience on current gen.

Re: Gran Turismo 7's New Approach to Microtransactions Isn't Going Down Well
Not something that I will buy, I'll just play the game and try to get the credits for what I need.
I've put about 8 hours in so far and at no point do they feel forced upon you IMO.
Re: Where to Buy Gran Turismo 7 on PS5, PS4
Pre ordered after the reviews, jumped on a midnight and before I knew it, it was 3am.
Back playing just now and loving it, it's been a while since I played GT and this took me right back.

Re: Gran Turismo 7 (PS5) - The Real Driving Simulator Makes Its Grand Return
In a month full of big games, none of which have taken my interest, this is what I have been waiting for. Can't wait until Friday.
Great review, got me looking forward to it all the more!
Re: PS Store Essential Picks Sale Offers Hundreds of PS5, PS4 Discounts
Think I'm gonna pick up FIST and Lost in Random whilst they have a little off them.
And GT7 this week as well.
Gonna need to find some hours 😂
Re: Soapbox: It's Okay to Enjoy Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West
I don't like either is that ok?

Re: Gran Turismo 7 PS5, PS4 Shipping a Week Before Launch
Wasn't going to but I'm gonna pick this up I think.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend - Issue 415
Cyberpunk and Sackboy for me this weekend, tempted to start Kena and Deathloop but I'll wait.
Re: Rafts of PS5, PS4 Games Discounted in Big in Japan Sale
Really tempted to pick up Scarlett Nexus but I just picked up Kena and Deathloop yesterday, planning in getting sifu and GT next week, am still playing Cyberpunk, got P5S to start, still can't stop tinkering with Planet Coaster.
So no I probably don't need that right now.
Sure it will go on sale another time...

Re: PS Plus March 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Got STR on the switch
GoT Online doesn't interest me, neither does Ark but I might give them both a bash.
GTA Online, been there, done that
Ghostrunner I'll defo download and try at some point.
Still wrapped up in Planet Coaster and Cyberpunk, and got a few games I'm gonna pick up over the next couple of weeks.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus PS5, PS4 Games for March 2022 Potentially Leaked
Already got team Sonic, GTA online I have up on back when I was in my 20s, ARK I would maybe give a bash.
Not great though.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Version Almost Certainly Launching Today
Picked this up cheap at the end of last year, played a couple of hours and white.enjoyed it. Obvious, glaring issues though.
If the PS5 patch brings it up to scratch and I can get it today that'll do nicely.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 413
Planet Coaster has sucked me in so I'll probably spend an insane amount of time fiddling with my park.
Re: TMNT: Shredder's Revenge Officially Confirmed for PS4, Master Splinter Gameplay Debuted
Man that video took me right back to the TMNT game on the Mega Drive.
Looking forward to it, not often I'll day one a game but this could be a day one for me.

@Kidfunkadelic83 thanks bud, good to know. Had a blast with it today so will probably pick some up

Can't imagine why anyone would be mad about it.
Re: PS Plus' PS5, PS4 February 2022 Games Are Available Now
Planet Coaster and UFC have both been downloaded, not interested in the dlc as I've never really liked Borderlands.
Not a bad month for me given there's two games, I'm looking forward to.
Re: The Witcher Is Getting a New Single-Player Gwent Game in 2022
How about a round of Gwent?
Personally loved Gwent, stand alone, Thronebreaker and in the game.
So yeah, I'd be up for some more.
Re: Possible Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Cover Spotted on PlayStation Servers, News Could Be Incoming
@Flaming_Kaiser well... When you put it like that 😂
Re: Possible Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Cover Spotted on PlayStation Servers, News Could Be Incoming
Picked it up cheap at the end of last year, had a mess around with it just to see what like then left it be for the update.
The little I did play I quite enjoyed, empty street and pee poor police AI were a bit jarring though.
Potential is there though.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for February 2022?
I'm happy with UFC and Planet Coaster, not a fan of Borderlands and the fact it's a DLC is a bit... Poor.
Can see why people would be a bit annoyed at the selection though.
Roll on Spartacus, they might knock it out the park...
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection?
Played them all, more than once.
Not gonna bother paying for this, don't have the will to play them again to be honest, regardless of how good they look.
Plenty of new games about I'd rather sink my time into.
There will be PS5 upgrades I do get on board with, I upgraded Death Stranding because I never actually got that far into the PS4 version, but this... Nah.
Re: Fans Think Revitalised PS5 Wreck-'Em-Up Destruction AllStars Will Be Free Soon
Tried it when it first came out, didn't hold my interest, the wee man got a couple of weeks out if it before getting bored.
Will download it again over the weekend and see what it's like now
Re: PS Plus February 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Planet Coaster, my type of game so happy with that.
I'm a big UFC fan, never bought any of the games however as never fancied them, happy to give that a go.
Decent enough IMO, can see why it will go down like a lead poop however

Re: Matchpoint: Tennis Championships Fires Down the Line on PS5, PS4
Hope its decent, would love a good tennis game, it's been so long.
Although if its decent, MS will probably just buy the studio.
Re: Microsoft Buys Call of Duty Publisher Activision Blizzard
I don't tend to play any of their games so from that point of view, it's not gonna impact me at all.
Bigger picture though, not a great deal from an industry point of view
Re: Mobile Game WipEout Rush Already Available on iPhone, Android in UK
It looks cool, I do like the art style.
But the gameplay is... Not for me.
Re: Xbox Boss Reacts to PS Plus, PS Now Rumours, Says It's the 'Right Answer'
Sony have bumped games up to £70 RRP
Subscribers to Spartacus (or whatever it ends up being called) get a discount on 1st party games up release, bringing them down to a more palatable £50/£55.
Unlikely but it would be a hit with a good chunk of people. And yeah, I have no idea if it's sustainable but certainly more sustainable than full release day 1 you would imagine.
As well as merging Plus and Now into one service.
Re: Mobile Game WipEout Rush Already Available on iPhone, Android in UK
Downloading with low expectations.
Oh to have a fully fledged PS5 WipEout, I'd struggle not to day one that.

Re: Dying Light 2 Takes 500 Hours to 'Fully Complete', Official Twitter Has to Clarify
@AstraeaV yeah very true.
I just checked my play times for the 1st time, 418 hours on it 😂
So yeah, if it's a good enough game apparently I am more than willing to put in close to 500 hours.
Re: Dying Light 2 Takes 500 Hours to 'Fully Complete', Official Twitter Has to Clarify
Game length is a funny one. I sunk well over 100 hours into one playthrough of The Witcher 3 (dlc included), well over 100 into Persona 5 (and now playing Royal)... I was gutted when they ended as I could have played more.

Re: Soapbox: Sony's First-Party Exclusives Will Shine Once Again in 2022
@playstation1995 wtf 😂
Had previous gen Xboxes, may well pick up the X at some point.
We have a Switch, a PS4, a PS3, a PC. I'm well covered thanks.
Couldn't care less who agrees with me because I dislike 3 franchises out of multiple exclusives.
Re: Soapbox: Sony's First-Party Exclusives Will Shine Once Again in 2022
@Dezzy70 plenty other games that Sony have released that I like.
Don't have to like all their exclusives to have a PS5 🤷
Re: Soapbox: Sony's First-Party Exclusives Will Shine Once Again in 2022
I'm not actually interested in any of these.
Could not stand HZD, found it boring as
Not a fan of GOW
I prefer arcade racers to just throw on and have a few races so GT is out for me
Sure there will still be plenty to pick up.
Re: PS Plus January 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
It's a good start to the year for sure.
Already got DIRT, it's good fun. Deep Rock - meh.
Very much looking forward to Strikers, need to push on with my Royal run through before starting it though.
